There's MORE?!?!

  And so, the eight Trolls were making their return to TrollsTopia, all the while Synth continued to cry on Branch's shoulder (metaphorically).


  Synth: I just thought if others heard that song, the Hard Rock Trolls would get all upset and rage war on us Techno Trolls!

  Holly: Or they'd have a better understandin' of how you felt while they were wreckin' your home.

  Synth: But that song was meant to be a private mantra; no other Troll was supposed to hear it! Besides, I never wanted to talk about it, 'cause then I'd have to relive all those deep, scary feelings hitting harder than-


  Suddenly, they all started hearing a sad song with an electronic beat. A song that Poppy, Laguna, Holly, Synth, R&B immediately recognized. It was... Synth's song!

  Sure enough, as soon as they arrived in TrollsTopia, there were several Trolls all over TrollsTopia who were either holding copies of Synth's record or listening to the song with tears in their eyes. Synth was helpless to do anything except let out a shocked scream before fainting.


  Poppy: Every Troll has a copy?!

  Val: But that's impossible!

  Laguna: Synth only made the one record, and it was destroyed!

  Branch: Let's split up and get to the bottom of how these copies were made! I'll help R&B scan Vibe Town!

  Val: I'm gonna check Rock Hollow!

  Poppy: I'll look in Pop Village and Classical Crest!

  Holly: I'll investigate Country Corral, y'all!

  Laguna: (hoisting Synth's unconscious body over her shoulder) Synth and I shall search Techno Lagoon!


  The ensuing search largely proved fruitless: Laguna came up empty in Techno Lagoon (though Synth did wake up), Val had no luck in Rock Hollow even with help from her Pop/Rock cousin, Melody (MasterClass60's OC), Poppy found nothing in either Pop Village or Classical Crest, and Holly couldn't find any clues in Country Corral.

  Meanwhile, Branch, R&B were looking in the lab when suddenly, Branch accidentally bumped into the printer and noticed something.


  Branch: Girls?

  R&B: Yeah, Branch?

  Branch: You left your printer on.

  R&B: What to the what?

  Rhythm: (looking through the printer's history) It says here that a huge load of copies has been made of this machine about half an hour ago, but B and I haven't used this thing since yesterday.

  Branch: Then how could all those copies have been made on it earlier, especially when Synth was the only one who had the record?


  The purple Funk Troll and the survivalist Pop Troll kept looking around the printer as Blues grew increasingly nervous until...


  Blues: Okay, I admit it!!

  Rhythm and Branch: Huh?

  Blues: It was me! I made the copies of the record and sent them out all over TrollsTopia!

  Rhythm and Blues: WHAT?!?

  Blues: I used my remote to scan Synth's record while he was talking with Val, then programmed the printer to make the copies, and used the bubble ray to deliver them to all the other Trolls!


  After that semi-lengthy explanation, Blues took a moment to catch her breath before breaking down in tears, while Rhythm and Branch looked at her in shock.


  Branch: But I thought you wanted to help Synth and Val destroy the record.

  Rhythm: What about that song starting a war?

  Blues: The truth is, I actually thought it was just so beautiful that every Troll deserved a chance to hear it so they could learn about the World Tour from Synth's point of view. So I only agreed to help Synth destroy the original record, but then I made copies of it. That way, there'd be plenty of records to share the song with everyone.

  Rhythm: So you never really wanted to destroy the original record? You wanted other Trolls to hear it too?


  The yellow Funk scientist didn't say anything in response, instead giving a sad nod as tears continued to pour in. Her Sister Supreme then placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.


  Rhythm: Awwww, B, you could've just been honest with us. Then we could've found a way to convince Synth together.

  Branch: But now, we've got a huge problem- every Troll in town now has a copy of Synth's song.

  Rhythm: And knowing him, he's probably flipping out over it!

  Blues: We've gotta fix this before things get worse!


  Just then, Poppy entered the ship with Holly, Val, and Laguna.


  Poppy: Guys, we have bad news!

  Laguna: Synth's gone!
